You can sum up the primary reason behind the nation’s soaring homeless cat population in a single word:

Kittens.

Kittens are so over-the-moon, no-holds-barred, smack-you-upside-the-head cute, we humans keep letting cats make more of them. Even when we shouldn’t.

But here’s your chance to enjoy the two cutest of the incredibly freakin’ cute kittens at the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando – and still be a good guy (or good gal).

You can adopt them.

Nacho and Salem are 2-month-old domestic short-hair (or kinda-short-hair) brothers brought to the shelter after their mama had a litter outside of wedlock. And the two kitties – one that’s fittingly nacho-colored, the other predominantly white – happen to have been selected as staff favorites there, which is saying a lot, given the burgeoning cat population typical of shelters in summertime.

They’re healthy, inquisitive, endlessly entertaining and will purr just seconds into cuddling by a heretofore complete stranger. (Would that we were all so approachable.)

If you’re interested in giving one or both a happily-ever-after home, or seeing any of the other adoptable dogs and cats at the nonprofit Pet Alliance, go to petallianceorlando.org.
